So, what’s up with those 3 ones?

Per seems to disgust Bon Jovi to the bone.

Bon Jovi seems like if he didn’t care so far.

And do you think is there anything alike with Bon Jovi’s songs and GT’s?

@gyllene: i think u re a bit prejudiced over GT? :P

gyllene_tjej said on October 9, 2002 16:30:

prejudiced? Why? But seriously, do you really like bon jov’s latest CD? I truly think it s weak :((( And GT have been pride of Sweden since I can remeber :)

Agree with Gyllene... The last album of Bon Jovi is just weak, not comparing it to anything... And GT rule!!! It’s another story!

I’m saying it ’coz I once heard about a song recorded by Per to the 1st DBUGTTC (1995) and he decided to not include it in the album, ’coz, according to him, it sounded ’like a cheap Bon Jovi song’. (This song seem to be listed in BMI’s list).

Then, I posted it here and somebody added another Per’s commentary abot BJ: Roxette was touring through U.S. and BJ either, but they had a particular airplane. Then, Per said something like: “We’re not like Bon Jovi, we don’t need particular airplanes”.

I think Per was more refering to the fact that “Only you” (like YDUM) was co-written by Desmond Child who’s responsible for a lot of the “classic” Bon Jovi songs... which means it sounding like a Bon Jovi-songs isn’t that big of a surprise, isn’t it?

Oh, and the part with the airplane: during the “Keep the faith”-tour, Bon Jovi had chartered a plane, had their logo and “Keep the faith” painted on it and flew wiht it everywhere instead of using scheduled flights or busses like Roxette did. But you have to keep in mind that their tour was a lot longer than the CBB-tour and unlike Roxette, they did tour North America where travelling by bus would have taken way too long...
